I was never a big widespread fan, but I won tickets and backstage passes to their show in memphis( early 2000s). They were cool as hell! Got to sit on stage while they did sound check. They took request. Played Rage against the machine and the Charlie Brown theme song. Probably more, I was tripping balls. A great night. Good cover. The Ryman is a great place to see a show.
I got backstage for NYE at The Fox in Atlanta either 1999 or 2000. My bfr and I were trippin balls too and got there late to the party and we got “lost” backstage goin down narrow corridors and we just kept trying to open doors. We were ready to finally give up and the next doorknob turned (haha) and we ended up coming out way back of the theatre behind the soundboard!🫨🫠🫣😩🤪😜🤣🤣🤣 too big a puddles I guess!😅
What a cover. What a band. What a venue. Grateful I got to be part of this run! Been to the Ryman 50+ times and this is by far the best show I've seen there. Great birthday gift to myself!
Weird how things work. This evening I was thinking about this song...playing it in my head, thinking of how it could have many different approaches; hoping to find a version much like this. How satisfying to have found this rendition! So well done!
Plastic Jesus was written by Ed Rush & George Cromarty. They recorded it as The Gold Coast Singers in 1962 on the album, Here They Are! The Gold Coast Singers. Followed by Ernie Marrs in 1965, who falsely gets credit for creating the song. Bunches of folks have released covers of it, including The Flaming Lips on Transmissions From Satellite Heart, 1993. Paul Newman sings it in the movie, Cool Hand Luke, 1967. With his only family possession, a banjo, he sings the song after learning his mama died while he's serving time at a rural prison farm. It's on youtube, too. The Marrs version is also in the movie. The movie was the biggest vehicle for PJ.
Plastic Jesus just got me through a major metro area following my buddy that bought a car with a busted transmission that wouldn't shift, took 4 hours to travel what's usually half an hour. Jesus and Seafoam for the transmission.... we needed everything to get that auction car home. But Seafoam and Jesus, and some creative diving got us home. Praise my plastic Jesus that came with my auction car!
This was the longest version I found, so I was sure it would have the verse I was looking for, but no luck :( 'He don't slip and he don't slide, 'cause his ass is magnetised' etc.
Of course you can say this I still believe in free speech and will defend until I die wether I agree with you or not. The song is an anthem for the ages. 😊💪
Far and away the BEST rendition of this song I have EVER heard! BRAVO! Well, I don't care if it rains or freezes, Long as I got my plastic Jesus Riding on the dashboard of my car Through all the trials and tribulations, We will travel every nation, With my Jesus, yeah, I'll go far. Riding through the thoroughfare With his nose right up there in the air A wreck might be ahead, but he don't mind Trouble coming, but he don't see it Just keeps his plastic eyes on me And any other thing that rides behind BREAK God made Christ a holy Jew Made Him a Christian too Paradoxes populate my car Joseph beams in faked elan From the shaggy dash of fur-lined van Famous cuckold in the master plan Right there’s naughty Mary, smug and smiling Jesus dainty and beguiling Knee-deep in the piling of my van His message clear, night or day My phosphorescent plastic Gay Simperin’ on the dashboard of my van CHORUS Plastic Jesus, plastic Jesus Riding on the dashboard of my car Through all the trials and tribulations, We will travel every nation, With my plastic Jesus I'll go far. BREAK When I find myself in a traffic jam He don't care if I say “Damn” I let all curses just roll Plastic Jesus, he doesn't hear For he’s sportin’ a plastic ear The man who invented plastic saved my soul You know you can buy a Sweet Madonna Dressed in rhinestones sitting on a Pedestal of abalone shell I’m goin' ninety, I'm not scary 'Cause I've got the Virgin Mary Guaranteeing I won't go to Hell BREAK I don't care if it bumps or jostles I got the Twelve Apostles Bolted to the dashboard of my car Don't I show a pious mess Such a crowd of holiness Strung across the dashboard of my car I don't care if it's dark or scary I got Magnetic Mary Ridin' on the dashboard of my car I’m feelin’ I'm protected amply I've got the whole, the whole damn family Riding on the dashboard of my car CHORUS Plastic Jesus, plastic Jesus Riding on the dashboard of my car When I bought Him his robe was snowy white Now it isn't quite so bright Stained by the smoke of my cigar CHORUS Plastic Jesus, plastic Jesus Riding on the dashboard of my car Through all the trials and tribulations, we will travel every nation, With my plastic Jesus I'll go far.

just another fact jesus amen my friends. .they come and want a free ride it's sick but what free you have a drug addiction problem were fuck.. then you dayton unreal we a civil wat
Check out John Primes Angel from Montgomery. Plastic Jesus is everything you need to know about religion. TV Smith has a Sistine Chapel with flashing lights. I've seen it. J.
I had a guy at this show say he had been to 250 Panic shows and he had only heard this once. It was that rare. That I should be lucky to hear it. Told him he was mistaken that they had never played it. But he didn't want to hear any of that. Maybe his number of show is inflated as well?
Yea an old head 2Milwaukees ago refused to bilieve that was the first coconuts they ever played at the riverside... Im only 28 so the guy just wouldnt take me serious
When I weave around at night, and the po-lice think I'm tight, they'll never find my bottle though they ask. Plastic Jesus shelters me, for his head comes off you see, he's hollow and I use him for a flask!
WOW Absolutely Hands down the best PLASTIC JESUS rendition I’ve ever heard! “I’m a shaking it boss!”👍🎸🇨🇦
dude this video is so good, thanks for the good times 😎😎
An old favorite... my granny used to sing this to me in the car when I was little.

Saw y'all perform this in Nashville and Wilmington. Thanks for the tunes, the memories, and the shows to come. I'm a full fledged SpreadNeck.
Wonderful! Just simply wonderful!
The Ryman. Best place to see a show

The Ryman with its pews is like a church for music

HA! This is what I was lookin' for! OMG! This is it!
This was the longest version I found, so I was sure it would have the verse I was looking for, but no luck :(
'He don't slip and he don't slide, 'cause his ass is magnetised' etc.
kungfuasgaeilge we all should try to come up with new lines
"His eyes are blue and his legs are hairy ... he's got a mother named Virgin Mary ..."
He dont walk on water so as give onlookers a fright, he just on my dashboard cos he is made of bakelite
I found it!!
it's by Ed Rush and George Cromarty
Be grateful.....
Best version!
Thanks Buck for bringing me to the family.
Tight as hell and a fantastic live mix
Thank you.
Is no one going to mention that six-string banjo, tuned and chorded like a standard guitar?! I want one of those! :)
Just get a resonator, man...
I don’t know if I’m allowed to say this, but I really like this song.
NO!
NO, YOU CAN'T SAY THAT!!!!
WHAT ARE YOU THINKING???!?!?
UN-SAY IT!!!
UN-SAY IT NOW!!!!!

Of course you can say this I still believe in free speech and will defend until I die wether I agree with you or not. The song is an anthem for the ages. 😊💪
oh how i love this band
Love me some plastic Jesus!
Far and away the BEST rendition of this song I have EVER heard! BRAVO!
Well, I don't care if it rains or freezes,
Long as I got my plastic Jesus
Riding on the dashboard of my car
Through all the trials and tribulations,
We will travel every nation,
With my Jesus, yeah, I'll go far.
Riding through the thoroughfare
With his nose right up there in the air
A wreck might be ahead, but he don't mind
Trouble coming, but he don't see it
Just keeps his plastic eyes on me
And any other thing that rides behind
BREAK
God made Christ a holy Jew
Made Him a Christian too
Paradoxes populate my car
Joseph beams in faked elan
From the shaggy dash of fur-lined van
Famous cuckold in the master plan
Right there’s naughty Mary, smug and smiling
Jesus dainty and beguiling
Knee-deep in the piling of my van
His message clear, night or day
My phosphorescent plastic Gay
Simperin’ on the dashboard of my van
CHORUS
Plastic Jesus, plastic Jesus
Riding on the dashboard of my car
Through all the trials and tribulations,
We will travel every nation,
With my plastic Jesus I'll go far.
BREAK
When I find myself in a traffic jam
He don't care if I say “Damn”
I let all curses just roll
Plastic Jesus, he doesn't hear
For he’s sportin’ a plastic ear
The man who invented plastic saved my soul
You know you can buy a Sweet Madonna
Dressed in rhinestones sitting on a
Pedestal of abalone shell
I’m goin' ninety, I'm not scary
'Cause I've got the Virgin Mary
Guaranteeing I won't go to Hell
BREAK
I don't care if it bumps or jostles
I got the Twelve Apostles
Bolted to the dashboard of my car
Don't I show a pious mess
Such a crowd of holiness
Strung across the dashboard of my car
I don't care if it's dark or scary
I got Magnetic Mary
Ridin' on the dashboard of my car
I’m feelin’ I'm protected amply
I've got the whole, the whole damn family
Riding on the dashboard of my car
CHORUS
Plastic Jesus, plastic Jesus
Riding on the dashboard of my car
When I bought Him his robe was snowy white
Now it isn't quite so bright
Stained by the smoke of my cigar
CHORUS
Plastic Jesus, plastic Jesus
Riding on the dashboard of my car
Through all the trials and tribulations,
we will travel every nation,
With my plastic Jesus I'll go far.
Through all the trials and tribulations,
we will travel every nation,
With my plastic Jesus I'll go far.
Paul Newman in Cool Hand Luke. He kills it.
I think the point in the movie is that was the only gospel song that Luke knew
@@TheLittleNicky1 Newman is defo No1 then 2nd is Billy Idol, this is ok but yet to get a place.
The best version for me is The Peel River Drifters. They're just 3 Australian guys making music in their garage. Look up their video!
@@paulmarkwell4663 I love how hopeless he sounds when he sings 'assuring me that I won't go to hell.'
love this song
Second best version ever!
super luvv this !!
just another fact jesus amen my friends. .they come and want a free ride it's sick but what free you have a drug addiction problem were fuck.. then you dayton unreal we a civil wat

Sometimes nothin' is a real cool hand

you must be a christian
you should respect him enough to put his name next to his words
Ryan Smith LMAO well said, Sir. well said.
What is this a quote from the movie or a personal observation
I suggest you put the crack down

Check out John Primes Angel from
Montgomery. Plastic Jesus is everything you need to know about

Mark “chopper”read also sang this song very well ,in his own little way R.I.P chopper
Well I don’t care who makes up lyrics it just suits me as long as plastic Jesus keeps breathing plastic air
I think Jimmy is the most natural picker I ever saw.

That whoops ass
WSMFP!
RIP Todd

M Gourlay just love this
Yea an old head 2Milwaukees ago refused to bilieve that was the first coconuts they ever played at the riverside... Im only 28 so the guy just wouldnt take me serious
Danny Battrick....
I remember a version where it is revealed that PlJs is hollow inside - serves to hide the booze...
When I weave around at night, and the po-lice think I'm tight, they'll never find my bottle though they ask. Plastic Jesus shelters me, for his head comes off you see, he's hollow and I use him for a flask!
Billy Idol's version includes this.
We
This should be played at the start of every Trump rally.
i thought this was the Marilyn Manson song
Written in 1957 by Ed Rush and George Cromarty. Came to fame in the movie Cool Hand Luke. Has been covered by many a band.
i like the marilyn manson version
How old r u?
🤘🏻
